Friday Food Round-Up!

Sure, it’s the 4th of July and sure I could be writing a patriotic meditation, but we all know that since it’s Friday, that just is not going to happen.

At the beginning of the week, I was a bit puzzled about how we would run the Friday Food Round-Up! this week because you know, not at home. See also: Holy Shit Grief.

While I really did minimal cooking this week (translation: I chopped onions, requested corn on the cob as a side dish and packed the spice rub), Mom lead the charge. Except for the part where Billy and Marcus grilled. And where Dad hunted and gathered.

To summarize: It took a village this week.

Monday – Smoked Wild Rice Brats with Sauteed Apples and Onions, Salad, Corn on the Cob and Some Leftover Black Beans That Mom Pulled Out Of The Freezer

I wish I could explain this meal, but basically we wandered around the grocery store and threw things into the cart. Voila! Dinner!
